I have been a member of the European Parliament between 2011 and 2014. I worked with telecommunications policy, data protection, intellectual property rights and standardisation of technology. Since 2015 I run the Swedish NGO Dataskydd.net, which focuses on making data protection easy in law and in practise. In 2016 I was a guest researcher on cyber security and consumer rights at the Centre for Internet and Society in Bangalore, India. I contribute op-eds to three Swedish publications (Liberal debatt, Dalarnas tidningar and
Smedjan) since 2017. I’m an experienced public speaker, and I hold a BSc in mathematics.

It was always known that data storage meant a big deal in the private sphere, and over time it has become increasingly clear that the operation is not beneficial.
